商品簡介
These deeply theological poems are the howling prayers of an anarchist-pacifist antiracist queer-affirming Christian fighting against the creeping Christocratic nationalism of his region, the stolen Cherokee land of Tenasi. These rants and chants chart the author's journey through religious deconstruction into the defiant redemption of the Christ who haunts the Bible Belt with an underground solidarity and witness of grief, hope, and human liberation. "I don't know many poets and mystics, but Andrew William Smith is the genuine article. His poetry exudes passion, and his vulnerability on these pages is nothing short of stunning. There is a deep religious fervor in these pages, unafraid of the call to abandon idols and name the violence inherent in religion as a weapon. Poets are often feared because their deep vulnerability can expose our dangerous illusions. Mystics find themselves marginalized because they see through our artifices. But we need them and their honesty. Broken Megaphones is witness and testimony, fire and love. It is a gift. Take. Read. Receive." -Rick Quinn, writer at PopMatters and Ordinary Space
